LINK WRAY. Father of the Power Chord. Creator of Distortion.

LINK WRAY and the Ray Men’s groundbreaking song RUMBLE was banned from radio airplay for fear it would incite teenage gang violence. A remarkable feat for a song with no words.

LINK WRAY was the first Native American rock star with RUMBLE selling over a million copies in 1958.

LINK WRAY is in the top 50 of the 100 GREATEST GUITARISTS selected by Rolling Stone magazine.
